CAPTURED: 9 Alpha Bad-Boys(181)

He had roared for the others to go secure a ship for them while he, Tor,  and Lodar shifted into their cats and went after Riley. They could move  faster and clear a larger path in that form. Vox burst down the  corridor that housed the medical unit and control room, his sharp claws  digging gouges into the stone floor. He slowed as he saw the pile of  bodies outside of the control room door which stood open. He pulled back  on his cat, slowing it down. It hissed at him, fighting for control as  fear threatened to overwhelm caution.

Vox moved silently toward the door. Tor and Lodar had shifted behind him  and were moving up the sides, checking each room for any guards that  might remain. His ears twitched back and forth as he picked up Riley's  husky, tear-filled voice. His cat picked up speed at the sound of its  mate. He jumped over the pile of dead bodies and froze, his eyes  narrowing on where Riley was sitting with the laser pistol pressed  against her chest. Time seemed to stand still as he watched her draw in a  deep, shaky breath. A silent curse tore through his mind as he realized  what she was about to do. With a burst of speed he hit her sideways,  whipping his huge paw out and knocking the pistol out of her hand as he  stumbled over her, rolling as the pistol fired mere inches from her.

He knew he hit her hard enough to knock the breath out of her, but he  had been so frightened he could barely restrain himself. Gods! He had  almost lost her again. He didn't know if his heart would ever beat  calmly again. He shifted, rolling until she was trapped underneath him.  His hands were framing her face as he frantically looked down at her.

"Riley," he croaked out desperately. "Where are you hurt?"

Riley opened her mouth as she stared up in a daze at the huge figure  above her. She couldn't breathe. He had her pinned under his huge body  and had knocked the frigging wind out of her. She finally drew in a huge  breath as dark spots began dancing around the edges of her vision.

"You aren't supposed to be here," she said confused. "You were supposed to have already escaped."

"Are you hurt?" Vox tenderly growled out again as he ran the palms of his big hands down over her hair and cheeks.

"No, I don't think so," Riley said before she let out a loud squeal as  she found herself flung over Vox's huge shoulder as he jumped to his  feet.

"Good! Once we know for sure, I'm going to tan your ass for this little  stunt, female!" Vox growled out turning back toward the door.

"My suitcase! Don't forget my purse either!" Riley cried out looking  over at her big, pink suitcase from upside down. "I need it!"

"I'm on it," Tor said, hurrying into the room and grabbing the huge case  and heavy handbag with a grunt. "Damn, Riley, this is heavy. What do  you have in it?" Tor asked as he jogged down the corridor behind Vox.

"Can we talk less and run faster?" Lodar asked coming up the rear. "We  have less than two minutes to get far enough away from this rock we  don't get blown up with it."

"Sor … ry … ab … ou … t-th-tha-that!" Riley finally got out as she bounced up  and down. "I … hit … the … wronnnggg … butt … on. Damn it, Vox.  Will … you … quit … bouncing … me!"

Vox's large hand tightened around Riley's legs while his other one  landed on her ass with a satisfying whack. He couldn't help the grin  that lit up his face at her outraged yelp followed by a long string of  colorful curses and threats. He let his hand rest there, enjoying the  soft, heated flesh under his palm.         

     



 

Gods, but I love this female! he thought, almost tripping as he bolted  down the steps and charged across the landing bay. I love her!

He never thought he would feel this emotion for a female, but he  realized he did. His cat rolled deep inside him in disgust as the  revelation spread warmth to every inch of his huge frame. He never  expected love to feel like this! He felt wonderful and terrified at the  same time. He, Vox d'Rojah, ruling king of the Sarafin was terrified of a  little alien female from a species he had never even heard of before.  She scared him to the marrow of his bones, and he loved it. She drove  him nuts, was totally oblivious to just who he was and the power he had,  and he never knew what in Guall's balls she was going to say or do  next. He was also terrified that something might happen to her. He and  his cat needed to protect her, even if it was from herself. Speaking of  which-

"What in the hell did you think you were doing?" Vox growled out as he  charged up the loading tube to-"What in the hell is that?" he croaked  out in dismay as he got his first good look at the dilapidated  freighter.

"It is the only thing left," Banu snarled out. "Move your asses. Titus  and Adur have the engines primed as much as they could without blowing  them. We have less than a minute to get as far from this place as  possible."

Vox's curses echoed as Banu sealed the door behind them and barked out  to Titus to get them the fuck out of there. Vox reached out and grabbed  the bar along the side of the passageway as he felt the old freighter  groan and shake as Titus and Adur pushed it to the maximum.

"Go! Go! Go!" Lodar muttered under his breath as he hung tightly to the bar next to Vox.

"I'm going to go see if I can't get this rusted piece of dragon dung to  move faster," Tor snarled, holding onto the bar as he worked his way  down the corridor.

"Ah, hello," Riley said, blowing her hair out of her face. "Is it  possible to be put down now? The blood is, like, flowing to my head, and  I am definitely getting a headrush here. Not to mention, you have a  very uncomfortable shoulder considering how much meat you've got on you.  Let me tell you, muscle is not soft!" she complained.

Vox snarled at Banu who had his eyes glued to Riley's ass. "Mine!" he snapped to the younger Sarafin warrior.

Banu grinned at Vox. "If we are about to die at least give me something nice to look at," he said with a shrug.

Cross grinned at Banu. "I couldn't agree with you more, my friend. If I have to die I wouldn't mind having her in my arms."

"What are they looking at?" Riley said, trying to walk herself up Vox's  back with her hands. She turned and looked at Banu and Cross who were  grinning mischievously at her. "What is nice?"

"They are staring at your big ass," Vox snapped in irritation. "It is mine!"

Riley's eyes widened before they narrowed to dangerous slits. "I know  you did not just say I have a big ass, you hot-headed, no-good,  two-timing piece of kitty-litter trash!" she snapped. "Put me down right  this minute."

Vox slid Riley's succulent body down along his own solid form with a  loud purr. Gods, she had curves on top of curves and was so soft he  could feel his hands sinking down into the creamy flesh as his hands  slipped under her shirt. His cat rumbled in delight as her sweet scent  overwhelmed his senses, and his eyes actually rolled back in his head  when her huge breasts caressed his cheeks.

"Gods, female, you are potent," Vox purred against her ear as he leaned into her.

Riley opened her mouth to let him have it, but before she could the  entire freighter shuddered violently, creaking and groaning as the  asteroid exploded. Her arms flew out, wrapping around his neck at the  same time as she tried crawling back up his huge frame. She had too much  to live for to die now. She had to find a way home, she had to lose her  virginity, she had a big, gorgeous-smelling lummox to kill.

Vox turned, pressing Riley's shivering figure between his body and the  wall. She had her long legs wrapped tightly around his waist, and her  face was buried in his neck. He didn't know whether the groan that  escaped him was because he could feel the old freighter struggling to  move through the shockwave or because he could feel the heat of his  mate's pussy pressing against his cock which decided it didn't care that  they were in mortal danger right now. He pressed her against the side  of the corridor as his arms strained to hold onto the metal grip bar.

"Brace for impact!" Titus's voice came over the communication system.  "Adur, see if this piece of crap's shields can be increased to the  stern. We have debris coming at us."

"Shields are at ninety percent. I'm rerouting power from life support to give it additional power," Adur muttered tensely.

"I've got the engines primed," Tor's voice came in. "Give it full  thrust, Titus. She can handle it for a short period. Just get us the  fuck out of here."

"Hang on," Titus yelled as he pushed the freighter past its specifications.

Banu cursed as he was jerked almost off his feet as the freighter  lurched before surging forward. Cross reached out and grabbed Banu,  pulling him upright at the last second. Banu muttered a quick thanks  under his breath as he grabbed for the bar again. Vox whispered quietly  in Riley's ear as she whimpered. His heart beat heavily against his  chest as he turned his face into her silky hair and pressed his lips  against her.
